Hello everyone and welcome to Ina Garten's Fridays group! This week we are showcasing soups, salads or sides. I chose Ina's chicken salad. Although she has a couple of different recipes, I like grapes in mine so that is the one I chose.

I have learned to wash my grapes in a water/apple cider vinegar mixture. . . just drop them in for a few minutes and swish around. It removes all that white moldy stuff on the outside of the grapes. Just makes me feel like they are cleaner and healthier.

I served my salad with Rice Crackers. These are fabulous for those looking for gluten free substitutes. I eat them not to be gluten free, but just because I like that they are crunchy and delicious.

This chicken salad is delicious and would be very nice for a ladies luncheon or even for a quick dinner for you and your family.

Serves Four

Ingredients:

Four chicken breast halves (I used boneless)

Olive Oil

kosher salt

fresh ground pepper

1 1/2 T. chopped fresh tarragon (I left this out of mine)

1 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup green grapes halved

1/2 cup good mayonnaise

Bake the chicken breasts with olive oil drizzled over for about 30-45 minutes in a 350 oven. Then cool and chop in chunks. Add in bowl to other ingredients and mix well.

Simple and delicious!

Here are a few of my blogger friends that also have First Friday recipes.
